    Yall might think this is rediculous but I would like to see this lineup some in the second half.

    Lowry
    Battier/Artest
    Landry
    Scola
    Yao

    with only 1 legit 3 shooter on the court we will be less likely to jack up shots and we will run the offense.

    Landry is a good shooter inside the arc and him and Lowry have clicked.

    This will also be a very good rebounding lineup

    Wovles: 53

    We'll dust them off in the 3rd.

    what part of, ADELMAN WANTS HIM TO SCORE, do fans not understand?? I hope y'all didnt expect him to become a different player just because Rafer left. He's always been a scoring PG, ALWAYS. He's not going to change and it doesnt make him a bad player just because y'all prefer him to be a playmaker. That's why Houston went out and got Lowry, to have some balance at the point.

    The Rockets downfall as always been the 3pt shot. Sometime they are just more than happy to launch a few even though they are cold.

    It doesn't matter, there both finesse or you can make a strong case for both that they are really SOFT.

    Foye isn't a scrub...but other than that yeah a bunch of scrubs.

    Um...maybe Chuck has this much of a impact on defense.

    Think about it, Landry gets hurt and our defense is great for the 5 games he were out...then Chuck doesn't play last night and tonight and look at the result.

    Maybe put Chuck and Landry in instead of Landry and Scola. Chuck really does do a lot for the team, I know if Chuck was in there Craig Smith wouldn't be bullying people around.

    PG instincts are usually innate. either you have a pass-first mentality or you don't.

    brooks doesn't. we just have to put him back to the bench and let him be the energizer bunny.

    lowry is a more pass-first PG.

    A foul is a foul.

    How many years does Yao have to be in the league until he gets it? What does Scola have to do to get it? So do they draw straws when players are drafted to see who gets respect and who gets screwed?

    BS!

    Guys stop blaming Brooks, our offense is doing good, it's our defense that sucks.

    WE NEED TO PUT IN CHUCK HAYES!

    I dont think their 3-point shootting will be still hot in the second half and RA will emphasize that defense.

    doesn't want to+ doesn't know how to

    his mindset is shoot first, shoot more.

    yao had to beg for the ball in some cases.

    The thing is, Yao isn't the #1 option. Sometimes he is and we do well when he scores 20+, to the tune of a 20something wins and 3 losses. It's just that a lot of times the team forgets what's going on and runs around like headless chickens. Like in Chicago last night and with Brooks tonight on that last possession where he drove straight into 2 wolves defenders (with an open Battier and Scola) only to get swatted.

    Rockets could have won Yesterday if Landry was playing. Just bad luck.

    Im not saying play them like this the entire half, just show flashes for 4-5 minuts and then get one of them a rest, then the other.

    I wouldnt even mind this lineup staying out there then coming in with

    Brooks
    Wafer
    Battier
    Artest
    Yao/Hayes

    Small fast lineup, let them play the speed game for a while and hope they dont come up with $hit and lose us a lead lol
